Bravery Awards

This annual event, sponsored by Police Mutual for 11 years, honours some of the finest officers in England and Wales who have performed incredible acts of bravery, while on or off duty. Now in its 24th year, we never fail to be humbled by every nomination.

Last year's national Police Bravery Awards took place on 12 July. A list of nominations - 80 officers from 40 forces in England and Wales - in alphabetical order by force detailing their acts of bravery can be found on the submenu - and there's a round-up of nominees and all winners here.

PC Keith Palmer GM paid the ultimate price, running towards danger when a terrorist tried to attack Parliament in March 2017 - he posthumously won the overall Police Bravery Award along with PC Charlie Guenigault who also took on terrorists when they attacked London Bridge and Borough Market
